Corsair HX 850w Pro Series Packs a Punch

You mean the system consumption, right? You could feed 2v into that HD4870X2 and it wouldn't eat 447W

BTW testing is my friend, not Google

thus why idle is listed........which is already stated that that particular card is doing. Of course those 2 5970's are doing nothing for consumption I assume or shall we skirt around that part

Clock the HD5970's, run some Vantage, get some killawatt numbers, cut the 4870X2 and 4890 show off and estimations

Kinda hard when my hardware is at mikeguavas house atm.

You guys can always duplicate the sytem and show me load

[Monstru]

Well, when you have the time, it's better to have rock solid results with 2 x HD5970 and a killawatt. More close to real life usage.

Anyway, I could duplicate the system and find out the load, but that would be like doing a part of your work

Sure it is but I don't have the kill a watt here as it's being used by someone else atm who owns it.

Seeing as I didn't have it I made sure I exceeded realworld.

Of course I had a semi disclaimer way at beggining of post, No facy test equipment etc etc but apparently people didn't see that.

No fancy test equipment means "no 10k$ chroma machine, and x $ osciloscope", not "no 20$ killawat", in my book

Depending on your particular finances $20 can seem like 10K sometimes.

It's wise not to make assumptions of someones finacial status or responsibilites to lets say children. I have no creditcards, I pay cash, no local stores have it, end of story...I borrow one when it's acessible.

Atm I can't rub 2 nickels together. If I could I would not have a $200 car with a muffler hanging and bad brakes, wiperblades cutting into windshield etc etc that was paid for a year ago

I'm very happy with my H50 setup.

At first I had a noisy setup with NeXXos block, triple rad, laing pump, etc and I wanted something quiet.

I lapped the base and I put 2 fans on the little rad.
There is almost no difference in temps.

I think you accidentally put this in the wrong tread.

We are talking power supplies here not enclosed WC systems.

For those interested in the TX750 heres a review where it got pushed up to 900watts without exceeding the allowed voltage noise limit http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/505/8 so I would say that the TX750 is a well made PSU. Now on the PSU load test Im surprised no one has brought up OCCT, it has a PSU Burn function which stresses your whole system. Talking Linpack and Furmark rolled into one epic PSU destroyer, I get my TX750 into the 550+ watt range easy with my sig rig. I can tell by the fan speeding up, this is controlled not only by heat but by power usage. Before anyone says that this is impossible, I know my cards reach the 120 watt level per card and my CPU with its overclock can hit 230 watts add in the mobo, RAM and HDDs and this kinda makes sense. Or it does to me perhaps.

Before I forget thats some crazy GPU loading you have going on there, two 5970s + 4879X2 and a 4890, just lol really.
